David Davies, painter
and one of six children, was born on 21 May 1864 at Ballarat, Victoria.
He attended art classes at the Ballarat School of Mines and Industries,
and from 1886 to 1890 studied at the National Gallery School. During this
time he visited Streeton at the old farmhouse on the Mount Eagle estate
owned by Charles Davies, who was brother to his future wife. In 1890,
he travelled to Paris to study at the Academie Julian, and on 18 December
1891, married fellow student, Janet Sophia Davies. The couple returned
to Australia in 1893, and briefly settled at 'Rangeworthy' in Ivanhoe.
The following year, 1894, the couple moved to Templestowe, and in 1896
moved to Cheltenham. In 1897, they returned to England, and in 1908 settled
in Dieppe, France. In 1932, they moved to Looe, Cornwall, where David
Davies died on 26 March 1939.
